Milano Strut is an album by American jazz pianist Don Pullen featuring drummer/percussionist Don Moye, recorded in 1978 for the Italian Black Saint label.[1]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Eugene Chadbourne deemed the album "a set of performances, each in the 10-minute range, that are among Pullen's finest work... The pianist unleashes the earthy, even raging power he absorbed from the Charles Mingus combo and also displays a kind of compositional memory for details and nuances that will prove to be important as each piece unfolds."[2]
